    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      Something was wrong with the FAF, but here’s the replay file — it’s working.

    • RE: M28AI Devlog (v323)

      Hello! I apologize for my poor English. I would like to express my admiration and gratitude for your work. I recently completed SC, and when I started playing SC FA, I began looking for a stronger bot. At first, by a strange coincidence, I found Sorian. But I soon realized that he was only slightly stronger than the incredibly outdated standard SC FA bot. Then I downloaded FAF and started comparing different bots against each other. It took me about 2 days before I found M28. I needed to organize a series of AI encounters to learn as much as possible about their quality and behavior. And I was completely captivated by the fact that M28 works even on a standard SC FA Steam, let alone its strength.

      Please, congratulate me, I defeated M28 Easy once. On about the 8th attempt. Only team vs team, also filled with M28 Easy...

      But I’m not writing primarily to tell a story. While I was testing the bots, I did the M28 Adaptive against 3 Adaptive bots from the standard FAF set on the Ambush Pass map. He won, and that’s amazing, but he made 3 mistakes:

      1. He repeatedly launched the Gun (Damage&Range) upgrade for the ACU and then cancelled it. The first time, it seemed to me that he decided to take the ACU into battle, and losing 5% of progress wasn’t important. But he did this about 10 more times, once undoing an upgrade that gave 40% progress.

      2. He built the first matter storage facilities in this game very late, even though there was a long period of shortages of matter (due to the destruction of some extractors). And he built them far from his base, where the T2 extractor was located. Although the base had 3 T3 extractors that were quite well protected.

      3. The enemy fired at the T2 generator for a long time, and next to it, out of range of the fire, the first of the T3 builders was building something. As a result, when the generator exploded, he was destroyed, although he could easily have moved away a little.

      Unfortunately, the replay has not been preserved. The match ID is #27813045, but it cannot be viewed.
      However, I will answer all questions if something described cannot be reproduced.
